I don't get it. Why would you have to sneak? This isn't a bad nasty place.

Harmful stims? Like self harm? OMG that is so sad. You don't need to do that. Just be yourself, polite of course, but yourself nonetheless. And they'll just have to learn to handle it. Twirl, spin, trace, whatever it is that calms your nervous system, do it.

What kindof place are you?

Sorry to hear about the harmful stims. I live in a group home/facility and am allowed to have a laptop. Is your place more of a mental health treatment center by any chance? Those kinds of places are much more restrictive.
